on 8. However, in these experiments, approximately constant boil-up rates were maintained. To be completely quantitative, the contact angle should be determined a t a specific vapor velocity. DISCUSSION

An interesting phenomenon was observed while measuring the contact angles under conditions of mass transfer for the fluids under test. For all the positive systems studied, the sessile drop remained immobile, with no indication of interfacial turbulence occurring a t any stage in the experimental procedure. However, for the negative systems, a considerable amount of agitation was evident in the droplet, which resulted at some concentrations in the production of droplets ejected from the main sessile body. This phenomenon explains why distillation efficiencies are often high for negative systems, although the contact angle would suggest a poor wetting performance and hence low transfer area. The behavior has an analogy in liquid-liquid extraction, where systems with negative interfacial tensions produce satellite droplets.

low-Temperature Volumetric Properties of Methane ALAN J. VENNIX,' THOMAS W. LELAND, JR., a n d RlKl KOBAYASHI William Marsh Rice University, Houston, Tex. 77001 Pressure and temperature measurements were performed on 16 constant-mass methane samples ranging in density from 0.04 to 0.36 gram per cc. for temperatures between 150' and 273' K. at pressures to 680 atm. Saturation temperatures, pressures, and densities were also measured. Analysis of the data in the critical region suggested critical constants of 190.77' K., 45.66 atm., and 0.1625 gram per cc. An empirical equation of state was developed for the isochoric data which reproduces the measured pressures with an average error of 0.02% and a maximum error of 0.08%. Certain qualitative features of the isochoric equation representing the volumetric behavior of methane are discussed.

THE

pressure-volume-temperature relations for methane were determined as part of a continuing program to investigate the basic properties of gases and liquids a t low temperatures. Data have been recently reviewed and reported for hydrogen and methane in the gas phase (14, 15), helium and nitrogen in the gas phase (4, 5 ) , and low-density methane (8, 9). Available data sources for the properties of pure methane are numerous, but they are in serious disagreement, especially in the temperature region below O'C. A recent compilation by Din (6) summarizes many of the discrepancies and deficiencies of the data. Three significant investigations have been carried out on methane gas in the temperature range below 0°C. The

earliest was by Kvalnes and Gaddy (12) in 1931 a t temperatures to -70°C. and pressures to 1000 atm. Measurements by Mueller et al. (14, 15) extended the data to -128.7"C. and 510 atm. Both of these investigations claimed compressibility factors accurate to 0.1%; however, in some regions disagreements between the two sets of data are as large as 2 or 3%. Hoover et al. (8, 9) measured virial coefficients and gaseous compressibility factors between 131" and 273" K. a t pressures to 40 atm. Investigations a t temperatures above 0" C. were conducted by Michels and Nederbragt ( 1 3 ) , Schamp et al. (16),and Douslin et al. ( 7 ) . The results of all these measurements above 0°C. are in close agreement. The results reported here agree with those of Douslin et al. within 0.03% at 0°C.

For liquid methane, van Itterbeek, Verbeke, and Staes (10) in 1963 published measurements on the behavior of 14 isotherms between 114" and 190°K. a t pressures to 300 atm. The present investigation was designed to rectify the disagreement in the existing data below O'C. and to provide additional data extending into the liquid region. EXPERIMENTAL Equipment. The compressibility apparatus and procedure were described in detail in previous publications (17, 19). Briefly, the method was as follows: The methane sample was charged into a 150-cc. aluminum cylinder to a pressure of 680 atm. The cylinder, with attendant valves and lines, was weighed on a Seko analytical balance having a sensitivity of 0.1 mg. and an accuracy greater than 0.5 mg. for total masses up to 2 kg. The cylinder was then attached to a constant-volume chamber contained within a temperature-controlled bath. After charging the isochoric chamber to the desired pressure, liquid nitrogen was applied to a coil of tubing attached to the charging system. This system was then reweighed to determine the amount of methane in the measurement chamber. The isochoric vessel was a stainless steel sphere having a spherical cavity of approximately 75 cc. Connections were provided to a differential pressure cell, which was also immersed in the low-temperature bath. All the methane charged to the system could be contained in the temperature-controlled environment. About 95%-of the sample was always contained in the spherical cavity, for which accurate pressure deformation calculations could be performed. The system volume consisted of the spherical vessel, lines, valves, and the lower chamber of the differential pressure cell. This volume was measured by making a series of helium Burnett expansions ( 3 ) into a reference chamber of known volume. This reference volume was maintained a t 0" C. and the expansions were performed a t various system temperatures in order to determine directly the system volume as a function of temperature. The maximum volume error was estimated to be on the order of 0.015 cc. in a total system volume of about 7 5 cc. Pressure measurements were made with a set of calibrated dead-weight gages. Errors in the measured pressure are on the order of 0.01% a t the highest pressures and increase to about 0.07% a t the pressures as low as 1 atm. Bath temperature was controlled to &0.001" C., and the system temperature was measured with a platinum resistance thermometer embedded in the wall of the sphere to an absolute accuracy believed to be within llt0.01"C. of the recorded temperature. I n converting temperatures from C. to OK., the more recent definition of the absolute temperature scale was used, 0°C. = 273.15"K. The corresponding gas constant to be used with this new definition is R = 82.059 cc. atm./ (g. mole OK.), Details concerning the experimental apparatus are given by V ennix (17). Sample Material. The methane used was obtained commercially from the Matheson Co. and had a reported minimum purity of 99.95%. Two independent mass spectrometer measurements showed the actual purity to be in excess of 99.99%. For converting between grams and moles, a molecular weight of 16.042 was used. Compressibility Measurements. The detailed procedure for obtaining the data has been reported elsewhere (17, 19). Briefly, it consists of charging methane to the system and determining the differential mass. The temperature and pressure of the sample are measured. The bath temperature is then changed and the pressure measured for the new temperature. A series of pressure-temperature determinations was made on a constant-mass sample, beginning a t an upper limit of 0'C. and continuing by lowering the

temperature until the temperature corresponding to the vapor pressure was attained. Pressure-temperature measurements were continued along the vapor pressure curve as a further check of the experimental data. Changes in the system volume were accounted for by utilizing the measured temperature-dependence of the entire system volume and the calculated pressure deformation of a spherical chamber of known dimensions. This allowed the sample density to be determined a t any point in the pressure-temperature region studied. Due to the slight changes in volume during a series of constant-mass measurements, the density of the sample also varied slightly. I n order to obtain results a t either a constant temperature or a constant density, the original data were fitted to an empirical equation of state. This equation was used to calculate pressures and temperatures corresponding to the constant-density values reported here. The constant densities reported vary by only a few tenths of 1% from the experimentally observed densities, which show a small variation due to temperatureand pressure-induced distortion of the spherical chamber. The amount of smoothing carried out by the equation of state is thus very small and may be regarded as a correction for the distortion of the system volume. The equation of state is discussed below. The calculated pressures and temperatures for each density are presented in Table I. One additional figure more than the experimental accuracy is included in the computed pressure and temperature values to maintain internal consistency. The original experimental data before smoothing are published elsewhere (17). Vapor pressure measurements and saturated liquid densities are presented in Table 11. A comprehensive error analysis was made ( 1 7 ) , based on the estimated accuracy of the measured variablesmass, volume, pressure, and temperature. From this it was concluded that the maximum probable error in the compressibility factor varied from 0.04% in the hightemperature and -pressure region to 0.08% in the lowtemperature and -pressure region. Large-scale plots of the residual quantity, (2 - 1)/ p , showed internal consistency within 0.02%. The compressibility factor is not included in the tables, as it can be calculated from the primary variables-temperature, pressure, and density. COMPARISON WITH OTHER STUDIES

A detailed comparison was made between the data obtained in this study and other values reported. The interpolated pressures at 0" C. agreed to within 0.02% with those given by Douslin et al. (7). Data reported by Mueller (14, 15) showed average pressure deviations of 0.1% a t 255" K. and 0.4% at 200" K. Corresponding deviations in the values reported by Kvalnes and Gaddy (12) varied from an average of 0.4% at 273" K. to 2.7% a t 203" K. A comparison with the liquid data of van Itterbeek et al. (10) showed differences as high as 4%. However, the liquid density data published by these authors have reportedly been remeasured, due to inconsistencies in the original data (20). The vapor pressures in Table I1 are within 150 of the values calculated from the equation presented by Armstrong, Brickwedde, and Scott (1). Saturated liquid densities are compared in Figure 1 with the values measured by Bloomer and Parent (2) and by Keyes, Taylor, and Smith (11). Measurements conducted in the critical region are depicted in Figure 2. Figure 3 gives a large-scale cross plot of interpolated pressure-temperature values a t the overall isochoric densities. The critical point is determined by the isotherm which has an inflection point with a zero first derivative. The critical density cannot be determined by this method, since the critical isotherm is extremely flat in this region.

data of this work corresponds to a temperature of 190.77"K. and 45.66 atm. Estimates of the critical point made by Keyes et al. (11) and by Bloomer and Parent (2) are also shown in Figures 1 and 2. The convergence of this experimental data does not agree with either of these estimations. Both the Bloomer and Parent and Keyes determinations were made by a visual estimation of the point a t which two-phase behavior was judged to disappear. From the original data and the data of Douslin (7) above O"C., an equation of state has been developed for methane wherein a single expression for pressure as a function of density and temperature applies in both the gas and liquid region (18). This equation is as follows:

Constants for this equation with units of p.s.i.a., OK., and grams per cc. are given in Table 111. The gas constant, R, for these units is 75.174 cc. p.s.i.a. per gram OK. These constants reproduce the experimental pressure with an average absolute error of 0.04% and a root mean square error of 0.07%. The distribution of error for the 598 data points is given in Table IV. A total of only 10 points had errors in excess of 0.20%.

errors were less than O . l % , the estimated accuracy of the data, indicating that the equation was reproducing the data within the limits of error of the measurements. The accuracy of the equation of state and regions of its applicability are described elsewhere (18). Except for a region near the critical point where the isotherms become flat, densities can also be predicted within 0.1%. This involves substituting a pressure and temperature into Equation l and iterating for the corresponding density. At points removed from the critical, the iteration converges rapidly to a value within 0.15 of the measured value. The equation of state has been utilized in the present paper to obtain data adjusted slightly to obtain constant values of density. For the experimental results from each charge to the cell, an average density was selected. For each experimentally measured temperature, a small pressure adjustment was then made t o give results a t this constantdensity value. The adjustment was made using the following relationship:

where Ap was the required density change and the partial derivative was evaluated from the over-all equation of state. Because the equation of state fits all of the experimental data with a precision of better than 0.1%, it is probable that these small pressure adjustments do not introduce errors larger than this value. The adjusted pressures are presented in Table I , which shows the results a t constant density. DEVIATIONS FROM ISOCHORIC LINEARITY

The precision of the data is such that it is possible to calculate the degree to which the isochoric behavior deviates from a linear or van der Waals behavior. Equation 1 was differentiated t o find dP

a t each of the constant-density values nearest to an experimental measurement. The region of greatest linearity in each isochore was determined by finding the temperature, T o , and pressure, Po, a t which the second derivative is zero. No zero value of the second derivative could be determined for the p = 0.116 gram per cc. isochore or for any smaller density. The inflection point or extremum conditions for p = 0.158 gram per cc. and for all higher densities are presented in Table V. A value of zero for the second derivative indicates conditions a t which the

a linear relation, as would be predicted by the van der Waals equation of state, was calculated to give

T h e calculated value of PvdW is the result which would be predicted by van der Waals behavior at any temperature T along the isochore. The differences between the linear PvdW values and the actual experimental values are shown in Figure 4 for a few densities. A t densities where an inflection occurs, the deviation from linearity is s-shaped, with experimental pressures greater than the van der Waals pressure a t low temperatures near the saturation curve and less than the van der Waals values at high temperatures. Near the saturation curve, the magnitude of the excess of the experimental values over the van der Waals increases with increasing density u p to p = 0.221 gram per cc. At higher densities, this excess begins t o decrease, until at p = 0.341 gram per cc. the experimental value has become less than the linear van der Waals value. The deviations from linearity in the critical region at p c = 0.1625 gram per cc. are small but are definitely not zero. T h e critical isochore does not extrapolate linearly into the supercritical region, as assumed in some equations of state.
